Moving out, moving up, moving on! How do you find moving boxes? Do you have to hire a moving company? Here's my advice on how to move the most quickly and easily.
I have moved house 12 times in the past 2 years since graduating from college. Whether your moving into a dorm or apartment, a new house, a sublet, or airbnb (I've been there) here are some tips and moving hacks as you're packing and planning to help stay on top of it.
Also the tape that I used is TEFLON TAPE or plumbers tape, rather than electrical tape - whoops! Clearly I don't do many repairs, lol

Plenty of awesome moving tips in these comments! I've landed at my new place and I hope to Never. Move. Again. Also a note: the tape I use for the bottles is actually Plumbers Tape or Teflon Tape, rather than electrical tape!
I’m procrastinating watching this instead of packing up my apartment rn😩🤣
My favourite tip is to do a massive clear out before the move. all the shit you can give away, do. be ruthless!
If you're using a moving truck or moving crew, I'd definitely recommend packing valuables that you don't want to put in a truck in your own vehicle and move it there yourself. It'll save you extra stress from something that's already stressful enough.
Moving in 3 days.. I FEEL SO UNMOTIVATED TO PACK EVERYTHING THIS FEELS HORRIBLE 😭
I can't believe I've never thought about using my clothing for packing material. Great idea!
My best tip: use bankers boxes.
"that's when you know"
The exception to the pack like things together rule is if you have a lot of books and/or notebooks! A huge box of books is HEAVY! Spread those guys out!!
i have NO intentions of moving soon but wow that tape PRO TIP WAS TOO GOOD.
Liquor stores are usually a great spot for boxes. The one near my home keeps empty boxes out in the front of the store for easy access!
I have moved abroad a couple of times, and my main tip would be to have access to a scanner weeks before the move. Personal documents, school files, notebooks, scan everything you can because omg the times I've needed digital copies of basically my life for: studying, health and migration proceedings, even at the airport!
As a 25 year-old who is now having to move across cities, this was INCREDIBLY insightful. Thank you for sharing!!! I never had to move with so much more furniture (or basically other than my clothes and personal belongings) but now I have to and I was stumped LOL hope you're doing well!!
Stick the vacuum hose into the top of trash bags to vacuum out the air and save space! I also used pantry items (oatmeal packets and boxed foods) for fillers in kitchen boxes!
your personality is so vibrant and precious
oh, my second tip is to be aware of your own limitations!!! I know that if I lift things my back will hurt for the next week or more. if i've got people helping offering to carry things (last move was my dad and brother) then LET them do the lifting. I did all the scurrying around with smaller items and making sure all the fragile things were taken care of, moving vehicles in and out, etc. I lefted a few heavy things but as soon as i felt sore i stopped. I know from previous moves that if I knock myself out on moving day I will be almost totally bedridden for days afterwards, and it SUCKS to be stuck lying down when all your shit is in boxes.
“I’m not trying to be classy, I’m just trying to get out.” 🤣 👏🏻
Thank you so much! I’ve moved 6, now turning into 7 times and the move process is so draining. Thank you for giving these tips, I’m going to try these
I genuinely loved this, I'm moving for the third time in two weeks (don't worry, my stuff all fits in my parents' car) and all these tips are brilliant; thank you!
i've been really stressed about having to move back in with my parents, so this helped a lot. i only have 2 weeks left til i need to be fully out, so the little i've gotten done has made everything else more daunting. the biggest issue has been sorting where things are going.
